What are you capable of doing if you've been brainwashed? If you've heard and know of the "Hitler Youth" and "Charles Manson and the Manson Family", you would know the answer to that question. The Hitler Youth and Charles Manson and the Manson Family are very similar in the fact that they both used a form of indoctrination and brainwashing to recruit members into their organization/cult. They both were prejudice against other racial groups/people different from them. However, the Hitler Youth and Charles Manson & the Manson Family are different because Hitler dictated under supremacy of National Socialism and made his followers believe that his way is the only and right way while Charles Manson used mental and physical control to get and use his "family".

As far as racial barriers go, the Hitler Youth and Charles Manson are very similar. They both had psychological disorders that may have led to their paranoia and anxiety and overall ludicrous thoughts and behavior and their successful manipulation of others, shared the swastika symbol, and were going to commit heinous acts that they tried to blame on other racial groups/people different than them.

To begin with, the Hitler Youth and Charles Manson and the Manson Family both had psychological disorders. “Serial killer Charles Manson had a severe case of anti-social personality disorder. Manson was diagnosed as having moderate to severe psychosis subject to psychotic breaks” (Manson 1). “Many of Hitler's behaviors are potentially symptomatic of an array of psychological disorders, including certain anxiety, mood, personality, psychotic, and developmental disorders” (Gehlem and Gregory 48-53). These examples prove that Charles Manson and Hitler both had...

...creatures out there, and CharlesManson has always managed to find his way to the top of the charts. As a convicted serial killer and cult leader, Manson has become an American icon of evil, but who is to blame? Our culture today tends to point at childhood, society, drugs, and even the idea that some people are just born crazy with a mindset that matures off-balance and psychotic.
On November 12, 1934, in Cincinnati, Ohio, CharlesManson was born Charles Milles Maddox to mother Kathleen Maddox. Kathleen was a 16-year-old girl who was both an alcoholic and a prostitute. Kathleen later married William Manson, however the marriage ended quickly and Charles was placed in a boys school. After his attempt to run back to his mother, Kathleen made it clear that she didn't want anything to do with him and so Charles was soon living on the streets getting by through petty crimes. By 1952 Manson had reportedly began spending more and more time in prison. In fact, he spent more than half of his life incarcerated and was such noted for being what you might call a “model prisoner”.
He seemingly began a new life in 1955 when he married a 17 year old girl and moved with her to California. She had become pregnant, but Manson once again returned back to his life of crime, this time stealing cars. It wasn't long before he was back...

...In Cincinnati, Ohio, many people remember CharlesManson as the convicted serial killer who had become an icon of evil. In the late 1960’s Manson founded a hippie cult group known as “the family”, who he had manipulated into brutally killing others as a product of his madness. Manson was blamed for killing over nine people. Manson’s insanity could be seen as a product of lack of parenting from his parents, his brutal drug addiction, and the failure to launch his music career. Between his deep feelings of abandonment, and the lack of a family love he so desperately always wanted it is evident Manson had created his own family, not a family with the typical wife and kids, but more of a family of brutal intent to demolish the gift of life.
Charles Milles Manson had grown up to what many would call a tough hand. Charles was born to an unmarried mother named Kathleen Maddox, and a no good father named Colonel Scott who had abandoned him and his mother. With not a father around to put him in his place the only one Charles had to guide him and direct him was his mother, who had been an alcoholic and a criminal. With such issues Charles chose the obvious route any young child would take and that is to be rebellious. Charles had been acting up seeing his only role model was his childish mother. Charles’ mom and...

...CharlesManson was born on November 12, 1934 in Cincinnati, Ohio. His mother was a 16 year old unmarried girl, Kathleen Maddox. Three weeks after his birth, he was named Charles Miles Maddox. Not too long after his birth, his mother married a laborer, William Manson, whose last name was given to Charles. There's much speculation about Manson's birth father, but truth is, nobody really knows. There are sources that say a "Colonel Scott" was his father, but there is no proof. According to Manson, his mother was an alcoholic. He was once sold for a pitcher for beer to a childless waitress. His uncle retrieved him days later.
In 1939, his mother was sentenced to five years in prison for robbing a service station. Manson then moved in with an aunt and uncle in McMechen, West Virgina. When his mother was paroled in 1942, he stayed with her in several different run down hotels. He has said that the day she came and got him after she was paroled was his sole happy childhood memory. In 1947, his mother tried to have him placed in foster care but no home was available, so he was sent to The Gibault School for Boys in Indiana. After ten months, he escaped to be with his mother, who rejected him.
He burglarized a string of grocery stores, and got caught when stealing a bike. He was sent to an Indianapolis juvenile center. After one day, he escaped, this then led to being...

CharlesManson: Two Points of View on a Killer’s Personality
Crystal L. Boyanski
Columbia College
Abstract
There are many theories about what shapes an individual’s personality and when following these approaches, sense can be made of a certain person’s behavior. CharlesManson is a well-known serial killer whose personality is reflective of two specific personality theorists’ views. Sigmund Freud, whose psychosexual stages of development could explain some of the traits held by Manson. Karen Horney was another theorist whose views on childhood love and nurturing, or lack of it, could explain Charles Manson’s personality. Gathered information on both Freud and Horney’s views will be compared to CharlesManson, his personality and his behaviors to conclude if these theories apply. Historical information from Charles Manson’s biography from childhood to adulthood will be included.
